    EICR Test Results mostly left blank

    Mornin' I did a small job for a client earlier in the week and told her I need to complete a Minor Works cert - as you do.. She said that she didn't need one because she had this - waving an EICR under my nose. Looking through the document, it all looked good until the last page - test results...

    Flucutuating IR results.?,.................

    Evening all. I am about to change a CU but have poor IR results on the ring so I am investigating that first. N-E on the ring 'WAS' 0.1Mohm. I started narrowing it down and got to a wall mounted JB (it looked like a cooker outlet plate, it had 2 spurs as well as 2 cables for the ring). The...

    I know that having a neon in the circuit screws up IR testing, but I just wondered if the same applies to Zs testing. Many thanks

    Recording PFC and PSCC results

    I have my Am2 this week and am getting confused with what reading is to be placed in schedule of test results. I understand for PFC to take the highest reading between 3 phase and earth but have to then go between phases & N to find PSCC. Is it PSCC reading then doubled and put on back of test...

    recording of earth continuity results for appliances with detachable leads.

    When testing appliances with a detachable IEC power lead, what's the recommendation for recoding the earth continuity value, do you record the higher value including the lead resistance, or exclude the earth resistance of the lead from the actual appliance. This assuming that the lead is tested...

    Completing Zs box on schedule of test results

    When unable to carry out a Zs test on a lighting circuit (large/heavy chandelier type lighting), then the R1+R2 + Ze measurements are instead used and this is noted, but is it the norm to still write this value in the Zs box on the schedule of test results or just in the notes. I ask because...
